Prevention
You can prevent getting COVID-19 by following a number of important precautionary measures:
Keep your hands clean all the time
- You must keep the hands clean and avoid touching the eyes, nose and mouth with unclean hands. You must also avoid touching surfaces until you have cleaned or sterilized them.
- Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
- If soap and water are not available, you can use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth unless you have washed your hands or sanitized them.
Physical distancing
Avoid close contact with people, especially those showing respiratory and other symptoms, and maintain a sufficient distance between you and them (not less than 2 meters) at all times.
Wear a face mask
Everyone should wear masks when they interact with others. Only the following categories are exempted:
- Children under 6 years
- People of determination who have cognitive, intellectual and sensory disorder
- Those who suffer from severe respiratory diseases. A medical report is needed in such cases.
Healthy daily routine
- Everyone should maintain a healthy lifestyle at home, maintain a healthy diet, sleep well and stay active
- Maintain a healthy routine as much as possible
- Keep in touch with your loved ones over the phone or video calls
- Children and elderly need more love and attention than adults during such difficult times
- It is normal for you to feel sad, tense or confused during a crisis. Talking to people you trust, such as friends and family can help you. If you feel your condition is getting worse, talk to a specialist.
